down by the seashore.

via idathue.
i think all the rain this weekend in san francisco has got me seeking sunshine. and, after spending some glorious days in the warm weather down in palm springs, i was ready for a little more, but this time in the guise of some time down by the seashore. who doesn’t relish some time away alone, tucked in cozily at a beach cottage? here’s an idea of what i’d like my beach cottage to look like – comfy, with a fresh, clean vintage-modern twist.

Love all these rooms, so ‘me’. Oh i do love to be beside the seaside, anytime of the year.
But right now in Oz, i’d love it to be winter, and sit inside with a cup of tea and watch the waves crash in. heaven.
I love all these colors – where do you find all these amazing images?
I just discovered Trisha’s wonderful photos and home via Etsy Get the Look Decor yesterday. Love the home and the seller selections they made in yesterday’s newsletter http://www.etsy.com/storque/spotlight/etsy-finds-decor-family-affair-7127/.
oh thanks for the link, ali! love her shop! :)
I’m about as far as it is possible to be from the seashore at the moment (sniffle, sob) in Austria but these are so evocative it almost makes it better, thank you!
i live about ten minutes from newport beach, and i want to rent a little beach cottage during the spring one year… i think it would be amazing! my aunt used to rent a beach house every year and it was so much fun! these pictures are total eye candy! ;)
Oh my goodness, thank you so much for featuring my bathroom photo on your blog. I am so happy to be a part of this wonderful creative community. You are all so gracious. What a dreamy post, and I’m humbled to be featured with such talented folks. Blessings, Trish :o)
your bathroom is heavenly. :)
Ooh, absolutely love this post!! I always dream of living in a little beach cottage, and these images are fantastic! What a great way to decorate :)
that little beach house in the top picture is what i hope to reside in one day… i shall not settle until i live overlooking the sea, preferable on top a cliff edge with several trailers, chickens and you know the rest…
just looking at all these lovely images has stirred the longing inside of me :)
i want to take a nap in one of those lovely rooms! :)
